IMPORTANT: New Tiered Contribution Policy Starting November 2025

2025-10-24

RELACult will implement, starting November 1, 2025, the Tiered Contribution System for Sustainability (TCSS), a pioneering initiative that replaces traditional Article Processing Charges (APCs) with a flexible and inclusive model. This system allows each author to choose how to contribute based on their socioeconomic reality, offering three modalities: Social Contribution (BRL 150 / USD 50), Standard Contribution (BRL 300 / USD 75), and Institutional Support Contribution (BRL 450 / USD 100), along with a comprehensive waiver policy.

The new system maintains the journal's commitment to inclusion through full waivers upon simple justification, automatic 50% discount for CLAEC members, and complete exemption for special issues. This temporary measure (maximum duration of 24 months) will ensure the journal's sustainability during the search for permanent funding, with annual reviews and the possibility of early revocation.

Open Dossiers for Submissions:

 

Vol. 11, No. 01 - FIRST HALF OF 2025

 

Dossier:

- Democracy, Social Media, and Artificial Intelligence in Latin American Contexts.
Coordination: Dr. Everton Rodrigo Santos (FEEVALE), Me. Fábio Hoffmann (UFRGS), and Dr. Emerson Luiz Pase (UFRGS).
UNTIL: MAY 31, 2025
Publication: JULY 2025

Abstract:
The expansion of social media and the growing use of artificial intelligence are reshaping political communication, altering the behavior of political actors and institutions, and creating new challenges for contemporary democracies. This scenario is particularly sensitive in Latin American contexts, where deep inequalities make democratic regimes more vulnerable to the pressures of disinformation, algorithmic manipulation, and the concentration of power in large technology corporations.
This dossier seeks to gather studies that explore the impacts of these digital transformations on the region's democracies, analyzing issues such as

 

Dossier:

- Ecology of Organic Knowledge: Dialogues on Memories, Tensions, and Subversions in so-called Popular and Traditional Cultures.
Coordination: Dra. Vitória Gomes Almeida (UFCA) and Dra. Flávia Cristiana da Silva (IFCE).
UNTIL: MAY 31, 2025
Publication: JULY 2025

Abstract:
This dossier aims to explore the ancestral knowledge linked to Quilombola, Indigenous, Terreiro, and peripheral cultures, understanding them as "organic knowledge," as proposed by Antônio Bispo (2019). This knowledge resists the colonialist denomination of "popular culture," revealing itself as complex practices of memory, resistance, and identity that persist despite the historical pressures of colonization and contemporary inequalities.
The articles should address themes related to ancestry, memories, tension

 

Vol. 11, No. 02 - SECOND HALF OF 2025

 

Dossier:

- Independence of Brazil: New Disputes over Nation Projects.
Coordination: Dra. Carolina Barbosa Lima e Santos (UFMS/UFAL), Dr. Wellington Furtado Ramos (UFMS), and Dr. Jocelito Zalla (UFRGS).
UNTIL: OCTOBER 31, 2025
Publication: DECEMBER 2025

Abstract:
Following the commemorations of the Centenary of the Week of '22 and the Bicentennial of National Independence, this dossier seeks to promote discussions on the need for new nation projects that broaden the concepts of modernity, culture, art, and national identity, especially from the historically invisible voices of Black, Indigenous, and rural populations. Recognizing the contributions of the modernist movement, we propose a critical revisionism that questions the gaps in representation and suggests the valorization of these subjectivities as active agents in the construction of new models of "brasilidade" (Brazilianness).
The articles should address themes related to modernity, national identity, and the cultural disputes over nation projects involving Brazilian sociocultural diversity. Reflections on literature, art, and culture that expand the canon and promote

 

Dossier:

- Lexicon, Society, Cultures, and Identities.
Coordination: Dra. Vanessa Regina Duarte Xavier (UFCAT) and Ma. Ana Vitória Gomes Moreira (UFCAT).
UNTIL: OCTOBER 31, 2025
Publication: DECEMBER 2025

Abstract:
The lexicon, as the cultural heritage of a linguistic community, reflects the relationships between language, culture, and identity, being a crucial element in the manifestation and transmission of a group's values, traditions, and ways of life. This dossier seeks to gather research that analyzes how the lexicon relates to cultures and identities in their various expressions, considering the plurality of forms of cultural and identity expression through language.
We will accept works that explore the lexicon from the Lexical Scie
